(besides oil rigs / drugs / Alaska Crab Fishing) 2) 7+ weeks paid vacation 3) Health benefits that exceed most industries today 4) Pension - "Other than Central States" Cons and/or Potential Cons 1) Physically, emotionally, mentally demanding. 2) Long hours often exceeding 9.5 to 10.5 per day 3) Job Security - With telematics, etc.., all your actions are highly scrutinized. One bad accident can have you 4) Potential harassment if you're not "one of the favorites" 5) 4 year wage progression 6) Declining Union Membership - Uncertain future wages/benefits 7) Over 70 lb. package handling often on your own. Few drivers I know actually utilized the contract language. You may want to look into obtaining a Class A CDL. Many options out there for drivers with this class of license. Best of Luck in whatever you do... [/QUOTE]
